The fastest growing Social Networking Tool!Click HERE to Tweet this post to your Twitter Account!
People are using twitter to make money, to connect with friends and to make great contacts and leads. Are you using it to its fullest? Every day I see dozens of Twitter applications popping up all over the Internet. And every day I see hundreds of Twitter applications being banned for fraudulent usage! I still feel that the best way to utilize a Social Networking Tool is to USE it!
Anytime that you cut corners you are missing out on one very important thing, experience. Those that take the time to learn how to use a tool generally become more adept at it! People who learn to use AdSense make money using AdSense. People that learn to use Amazon.com affiliate program make money using it! Take the time to learn the ins and outs of Twitter and it will become a tool that will help you!
I strongly suggest starting out by reading EVERY word on the Twitter site. If you want to use an application with Twitter, look at the aps that Twitter recommends. Ask questions on Twitter. There is no shame in asking questions. It is the foolish man who asks no questions! There are many people on Twitter that have been there since the beta version and most of them are happy to help.
Here are a few more useful tips that will help you to use Twitter to the fullest!
Tip #1: Take time each time you log in to check your Direst Messages (DM's) and after you read and or reply, delete them. That way you are not faced with the daunting task one day of trying to delete 40,000 messages! Don't forget to delete your sent messages as well .
Tip #2: Reply to all of your @reply messages no matter how petty they may seem unless someone is picking a fight with you. If you reply to all the @replies you are putting your name out there!
Tip #3: Learn some Twitter/Text shorthand to shorten words so that you can add links or better context to yout tweets. BBL=Be Back Later, LOL=Laughing Out Loud, RT=Retweet, TY=Thank You, etc. Learning to shorten is part of Twitter.
Tip #4: If someone Retweets you, thank them for the RT! This will work wonders in building a network of people who will help you spread the word! If at all possible, keep a mental note of those who RT for you and return the favor by RTing them!
Tip #5: Don't post a link in every single tweet and don't post multiple tweets in a row with links. People do not like to see their entire page filled with links and posts from a single person, it is annoying and will get you unfollowed fast!
Tip #6: If you are using an application to send a Direct Message when someone follows you make sure that your message is appropriate! Saying things like "I love your avatar!" or "I want to thank you for following me now click this link!" is counter productive. Simply thank them for following and let them know you are greatful. Don't overdo it and don't underdo it!
